d. Genesis says man is made in God’s image and is not a part of the animal kingdom (Gen.1:27). Evolution says man is an evolved animal.e. Genesis says the world was created perfect, then fell under sin and has been deterioratingever since. This is consistent with everything we can observe. Everything is moving fromorder to disorder. Everything is deteriorating, running down. This is what the Second Lawof Thermodynamics describes, as even secular evolutionists admit. Isaac Asimov was anevolutionist, but his definition of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, as follows, actuallyrefutes evolution and proves the Bible: “The universe is constantly getting more disorderly!Viewed that way, we can see the Second Law all about us. How difficult to maintainhouses, and machinery, and our own bodies in perfect working order; how easy to let themdeteriorate. In fact, all we have to do is nothing, and everything deteriorates, collapses,breaks down, wears out, all by itself and that is what the Second Law is all about” (Asimov,“In the Game of Energy and Thermodynamics You Can’t Break Even,” SmithsonianInstitute Journal, June 1970, p. 10). How contrary this is to the doctrine of evolution,which says that things have gradually evolved from chaos to order, from non-life to life!f. Genesis says everything was designed to fulfill God’s purposes. Wherever we look in nature,from the microscopic to the astronomic, we see the appearance of design, which is contraryto the principle of evolution, which says the world is the product of blind naturalisticprocesses. Study the cell, the eye, the ear, the leaf, the flying wing, the atom, light, sound,water--everywhere you find evidence of purpose and design. Dr. Michael Denton observes,“It is the sheer universality of perfection, the fact that everywhere we look, to whateverdepth we look, we find an elegance and ingenuity of an absolutely transcending quality,which so mitigates against the idea of chance” (Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, 1983, p.342). Even a “simple” microscopic one-celled bacterium (E. Coli) contains DNAinformation units equivalent to 100 million pages of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and allof that information works together in perfect harmony and is self-replicating! Purpose anddesign is what one would expect if God created the world as the Genesis record says Hedid, but if evolution were true, we would find chaos and haphazardness.g. Genesis indicates that the earth’s history is only about 6,000 years old, whereas evolutionclaims that it is billions of years old.Consider the following statement by Bert Thompson. (The documentation, which has beenremoved from the quotation, can be found in the original article online.)The truth of the matter is that the Bible, being a book grounded in history, is filled with chronologicaldata that may be used to establish a relative age for the Earth. It is not ‘silent’ on this topic. ...The Bible, for example, provides exact chronological data from Adam to Solomon. Combininginformation from the Assyrian Eponym Lists and the Black Obelisk, the death of Ahab has beendetermined to be 853-852 B.C. and therefore the reign of Solomon (some 40 years, 1 Kings 11:42)can be dated at 971-931 B.C. According to 1 Kings 6:1, 480 years before Solomon’s fourth year ofreign (967-966 B.C.), Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt. The date of the Exodus is 1446/1445 B.C.178
